The password to the plugin-key.kdb file that is shipped with WebSphere Application Server expires on April 26, 2012 US EDT. This file is placed in the [Plugin_Home]/config/{webservername} directory when a web server plug-in is configured on an installed web server.

After the password expiration date passes, the next time the web server running the web server plug-in is restarted, or the next time the plugin-cfg.xml is modified, the HTTPS (SSL) connectivity between the web server plug-in and the WebSphere Application Server might fail or revert to a non-SSL function and will not be encrypted.

NOTE: The default password for the plugin-key.kdb file is WebAS.
